edgeTI believes Digital Twins profile reinforces the relevance of edgeCore for IT/OT/ET convergence and real-time operational decision-making
Arlington, Virginia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 9, 2026) - Edge Total Intelligence Inc. (TSXV: CTRL) (OTCQB: UNFYF) (FSE: Q5I) ("edgeTI", "Company"), a provider of real-time digital operations software, today announced that edgeTI was recognized in the Digital Twins profile within the Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Managing Operational Technology, 2026.
The report states, "Organizations are progressing in IT/OT alignment and integration maturity due to the convergence of technologies and overlap with systems and processes. This integration is driven by business goals such as intelligent operations, industrial safety, integrated processes, reduced cybersecurity risk and improved project agility, which deliver enterprise-level value. These require new support processes and shared IT and engineering skills through the formation of fusion teams."
edgeTI believes this recognition aligns with the Company's focus on helping customers compose legacy and modern systems into an operational digital twin that can unify data, applications, AI, automation, policy and human action in one governed environment.
"Operational leaders need a way to see, decide and act across increasingly complex physical and digital environments," said Jason Nichols, Chief Executive Officer of edgeTI. "We believe edgeCore is built for exactly that challenge: uniting bounded IT, OT and engineering data into a living operational model that supports faster decisions and accountable action. Building management is one microcosm of digital twins that has unique needs based on business use — for example residential high rise, schools, hospitals, laboratories manufacturing, logistics, office, mixed use. The permutations demand maximum flexibility."
edgeTI offers demonstrations and evaluations of edgeCore digital twin capabilities to prospective enterprise, government, defense, industrial and asset-intensive customers.
